Went to the ROM, 3pm appointment to take oath to pledge that neither of us has ever been wedded in any country. Then we collected the ROM certs so that we can bring on the actual day at the hotel.
Had a late lunch at Curry Favour. We are way pass the 3pm lunch special hour to order the 1/2 curry set. But she made an exception for us. :) Cos I say I don't want already. Not trying to be difficult but I really don't want to have the full portion.
The day is packed with appointments as we went down to Conrad to test our audio and montage. Get to see the crew turn around the ballroom from a seminar to a banquet hall. So many people, so professional, so fast and so many fresh roses everywhere. There's a wedding that night. According to Benedicte, our banquet coordinator, there's almost wedding dinner or private dinner function at the ballroom every night. Cool. Business is brisk for Conrad.
I love Conrad!
Then we move on to meet our all-so-busy-and-snoobish florist. While waiting for him at Starbucks Novena Square, we settled our 2 march-in songs.
He appeared, a fat man with beard. His portfolio is the same as his website and perhaps as old as he is.
The meeting is chop-chop. We browsed through his works. Generally what's covered in the package is a few pathetic synthetic flowers with dull ribbons. Big and bountiful flowers comes with a price. All we need to do is to tell him 5 things.
1) Package or add-on (in our case, need to say more?)
2) Real or synthetic (Remember those petals that were thrown at us during the 2nd march-in?)
3) Type of flowers (Rose)
4) Color of Rose (Yam, to match our Purple theme)
5) No. of corsages and their respective colors (Whoa! He's so kind to thrown in 2 FREE corsages, we are sooo grateful lor. My foot!)
Special request: Pearl strands around my hand bouquet
Flowers are a big thing in weddings. My day hand bouquet, hubby's corsages, banquet hall decor and my night hand bouquet. I'm so grately that I decided to have another hand bouquet for the night so that march-in will look better.
My night hand bouquet is Pale Pink Peonies bought directly from a nursery - $80. Thankful that Joyce helped me with this.
Count-down: 4 days
